That's what I'm saying. I don't know.

Edit...

Not to high jack the thread but... mine is stamped 1889 and is definitely 6.5 Jan. Both my father and I have taken the gun to over a dozen gun shows and no one can tell us what it is. The action is very similar to the 39 but not identical. It has a 30 5/8 in barrel, full length stock and bayonet. A dealer at the Portland OreGun gun show that specializes in Japanese rifles offered me $2000 on the spot! Any ideas what it is? If I can get a picture to post I'll start a thread but I'm posting from smart phone and can't get it to work( I live 8 mi from the internet). Thanks if you can help.
